LEADING OFF: A New Jersey jury is deliberating the fate of 58-year-old Lee Anthony Evans. In The New York Times this morning, Michael Wilson writes a fascinating profile of Evans, accused of marching five teenagers into a closest in 1978, pouring gasoline in front of the closet and burning the whole house to the ground with the boys inside – an alleged punishment for stealing Evan’s marijuana. The story details the trial and Evan’s actions leading up to the trial. Evans was freed on bail last year. During most of the three-week trial, Evans acted as his own attorney.
